I’m not saying that Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey are anything more than hot, sweaty friends who like to do sports together and hang out shirtless on beaches in Miami. Let’s just imagine that these two are actually lovers and make the bold move to come out, though. It would be difficult for them to admit, but they would be applauded for it, and “straight” men everywhere might see that it’s not so bad to switch to the other side. Hell if top actors and athletes can do it, it must not be that taboo. At first it would be a big scandal, but then everyone would say how brave they are to admit it.
This will never happen because it would jeopardize McConaughey’s career playing the hot sporty guy in every crappy romantic comedy. He’s even signed on to do a new one with Kate Hudson. They’re going to play a divorced couple looking for treasure in “Fool’s Gold.” Sounds fabulous:
In related news, Jake Gyllenhaal has been confirmed to play the role of Lance Armstrong in an upcoming biopic about the seven-time Tour de France winner’s life. Matt Damon was originally slated for the role:
Gyllenhaal has taken over the role, and recent cycling training he has been doing with the sportsman is actually practice for the grueling role, according to Moviehole.net. The pair was recently spotted hanging out at the French event and have also been seen pedaling in the Hollywood hills with another fitness fanatic star, Matthew McConaughey.
Moviehole claims Damon pulled out of the film because of his busy schedule.
I wonder how Gyllenhaal landed that role.
Here are Lance and Matt on the beach. Thanks to DListed for these pictures.
